further adventures in reading

Well, I have ordered a respectable, by-an-actual-publisher copy of Adventures and Memoirs, but I cannot for the life of me find an edition of the novels AT ALL, except in those gigantic omnibus everything editions. HOW CAN THESE NOT BE IN PRINT. HOW. I reaaaally don't want to read a 50,000 word novel online, much less four of them :/ BUT I WILL, if I must. That is my devotion to getting the background on my gay fanfiction. Also, you know, they're pretty good themselves, so I hear. *g*

Hello! This is the edition of Hound of the Baskervilles I have. It's very nice and sturdy, annotated*, and keeps my tiny netbook backpack straight while providing reading material.

Book depository has a whole bunch of editions of well, everything if you just pop it in there too! And it's free shipping.

*you have to pop back to the end of the book to see them, so it's easy to ignore them if you want to. They were just a nice bonus for me on my second read.
